From command line vssadmin list shadowstorage, my restore point (shadow copy storage) space is 19.531GB, allocated space is 14.902GB, used space is 14.077GB. However, I can only see TWO System Checkpoint restore points in System Restore. Is this normal? Does the info for two restore points really take that much space? I can't restore to anything earlier than a couple of days ago, to the first of the two System Checkpoints... c:\ 197GB total, 105GB free (primary partition in SATA 320GB HD) :confused: -- davdun75 |

You should be able to get 20-25 points in that space - MORE than enough. If you only have two, then you must not leave your computer on very long... true? |

vssadmin list shadows The above command will show the actual points that are currently available. In the UI dialog advacned settings, you may need to enable the line to show older restore points. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "davdun75" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:f12cdbd4bc265954ca78bf31c3083327@nntp-gateway.com... > > From command line vssadmin list shadowstorage, my restore point (shadow > copy storage) space is 19.531GB, allocated space is 14.902GB, used space > is 14.077GB.

I only use the standard Vista defragger which runs on the default schedule when the computer is not in use. -- Thanks, CJSnet Recommended: * http://search.superhighstreet.com - Finds anything or they pay! * http://www.superhighstreet.com - Beat the crowds with Virtual Streetscapes [remove 'teeth' to e-mail me] |
